Does Bunnings sell under-sink flexible hoses?

Hi Guys,

Do you sell the flexible hoses that go under sinks that have a check valve inside the hose?

To help point you in the right direction, @Lee777, could you please provide a bit more detail on what you are after, such as the hose diameter, whether it is for hot or cold water, and the type of fittings required on each end.

I’m not aware of any standard flexible sink hoses that have an in-built check valve inside the hose itself. If a check valve or backflow prevention is required, this is normally achieved by fitting a separate check valve or backflow prevention device in line, or at the tap or isolation valve, rather than within the hose.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Mitchell,

What I'm after is flexible hoses that connect from the copper pipe to the tap that have an inbuilt check valve that holds the flow of water in the event of the hose bursting.

Do you stock these products?

[MitchellMc]

Thanks for clarifying, @Lee777. It sounds like you might be after something like the BOSTON 450mm Burst Guard Plus Lead-Free Water Connector. If the hose bursts, it has a shutoff valve within the hose to stops the flow of water.

Thanks,

Do you have these with the narrow fitting at one end that screws up to a mixer?

[MitchellMc]

Unfortunately, not @Lee777. I've spoken to BOSTON, and you could have a plumber connect a BOSTON 300mm Burst Guard Lead-free Water Connector to the wall, then either connect your existing sink mixer hose or an EnduraSeal 500mm Silver Premium Flexible Braided Water Mixer Hose to a Brasshards 15mm Brass Threaded Hexagon Nipple, joining them.

As this is a water connection, it would need to be done by a plumber. Also, the BOSTON Burst Guard is very sensitive and can trigger easily. If you add additional hose to the end of it, you'll need to turn your home's water back on very slowly to prevent triggering.

Thanks Mitchell,

That sounds like a good idea.

Do you sell ball valves that can be installed prior to the hose for the sinks that don't get used much?

[MitchellMc]

We do have ball valves @Lee777. But most people would install a mini cistern cock, which is used to isolate the tap.
